Jaipur, Jan 31 : Modern menswear is undergoing a meaningful transformation one where function and self-expression no longer exist at opposite ends of the design spectrum. What was once driven purely by utility is now evolving into a space where creativity, individuality, and thoughtful design work in harmony. As contemporary men seek clothing that reflects both lifestyle and personality, playful design is emerging as a defining characteristic of modern menswear.

This shift is not about novelty, but intention. It reflects a reimagining of how garments function—both visually and practically. At the forefront of this evolution is Pleyne, a menswear brand redefining everyday essentials by blending structured silhouettes with subtle playfulness to create clothing that is purposeful yet expressive.

“Playfulness in design does not mean impracticality,” said Chirag Sogani, Founder of Pleyne. “It’s about bringing intention to every element—whether it’s a pocket, a stitch, or a detail—so that function and expression coexist naturally.”

Reimagining Function Through Design

Traditionally, menswear placed function above all else—pockets served utility, seams ensured construction, and fabrics prioritised durability. Today, these functional components are being elevated into design features. Modern menswear embraces elements that serve dual purposes, where thoughtful detailing adds both structural integrity and visual interest.

Pleyne approaches function as a foundation rather than a constraint. By refining everyday elements through intelligent design, the brand creates garments that feel considered, engaging, and relevant to modern life.

Playfulness with Purpose

Playful design in contemporary menswear is defined by restraint rather than excess. Subtle detailing, architectural placement of elements, and modern stitching techniques introduce character without compromising wearability. The result is clothing that feels familiar at first glance, yet reveals depth and personality upon closer inspection.

“Today’s men value design that rewards attention,” added Sogani. “Our aim is to create garments that are functional first, but intriguing enough to invite a second look.”

Designed for Everyday Life

Pleyne’s current menswear collection embodies this philosophy across a premium range crafted with textured fabrics such as corduroy and finished with refined detailing. Each piece is designed to move seamlessly through everyday settings, balancing comfort, versatility, and individuality.

Clean silhouettes ensure adaptability, while thoughtful design elements enhance the wearer’s experience without overwhelming it. By focusing on how garments are worn in real life, Pleyne ensures that playfulness complements function rather than competing with it.

Shaping the Future of Menswear

The rise of playful design reflects a broader cultural shift in menswear—one that embraces expression while remaining grounded in quality and purpose. Modern masculinity allows room for curiosity, creativity, and confidence, redefining what it means to dress well today.

“At Pleyne, we design for how men actually live,” Sogani concluded. “Fashion should support movement, confidence, and individuality. When function meets playfulness, clothing becomes truly modern.”

As menswear continues to evolve, the balance between fashion and function will define its future. Through intentional design and refined craftsmanship, Pleyne demonstrates how modern menswear can be intelligent, expressive, and effortlessly wearable.

Pune witnessed a defining fashion moment as Neeta Lulla presented her fashion showcase in the city – an evening shaped by discipline, depth, and decades of lived design experience. Held on Tuesday, 27th January 2026 at 7 PM, at The Westin Pune, the showcase took place in collaboration with VivZ Fashion School. Actor Vaani Kapoor walked as the showstopper for the presentation. 

This presentation marked a philosophy in motion. For Neeta Lulla, fashion has never been about excess or immediacy—it has always been about intention. Rooted in cinematic storytelling and refined through over four decades of couture practice, her work is guided by precision, emotional intelligence, and an unwavering respect for craft. Each ensemble reflects a belief that clothing must hold meaning, memory, and longevity—serving the woman who wears it rather than the moment it is seen. 

Having dressed some of Indian cinema’s most iconic women, Neeta Lulla brought the same narrative sensitivity to this showcase. Structure led the conversation, emotion took precedence over ornamentation, and restraint emerged as a form of power. Architectural drapes moved with quiet authority, hand-worked surfaces revealed patience and mastery, and silhouettes—anchored by strong shoulders and fluid lines—flowed without proclamation. The palette settled into jewel tones, softened metallics, and grounded neutrals—colours chosen not for trend cycles, but for timeless relevance. 

At the heart of the showcase lay a clear ethos: true luxury whispers. Heritage appeared not as replication, but as emotion—translated through form, texture, and balance.Each piece unfolded like character development—layered, purposeful, and designed to endure beyond seasons. Fashion here was not costume, but presence—grace, dignity, and confidence rendered for the contemporary Indian woman. 

Reflecting on the showcase, Neeta Lulla shared:

“My work has always been guided by stories of women—of resilience, evolution, and an Indian heritage that grows without losing its soul. Evolution isn’t about doing more; it’s about refining instinct, strengthening structure, and allowing craft to carry emotion. Vaani Kapoor, with her raw yet stylized presence, her strength in stance, and the ef ortless way she inhabits a persona, became the perfect muse for this collection—her energy brought the designs to life in a way that felt entirely natural. Collaboration with institutions like VivZ Fashion School reminds me that curiosity is the beginning of learning. Legacy is not about remaining unchanged, but about staying honest—observing closely and listening to the voices shaping the future.” 

Reflecting on the collaboration, Dr. Arti Rai said:

“This showcase marked a meaningful convergence of legacy and learning. Neeta Lulla’s design philosophy of ered students an invaluable lens into discipline, storytelling, and purpose-driven fashion. At VivZ Fashion School, we remain committed to nurturing creative voices grounded in craft, clarity, and contemporary relevance.” 

With upcoming developments across nine premium landmark pin codes, Kundan Spaces is shaping a portfolio of large-scale projects planned for 2026. Partnering with celebrated designer Neeta Lulla, the brand brings together design excellence, thoughtful planning, and engineering precision to create

architectural marvels that will redefine Pune’s skyline and contribute to India’s infrastructure-led growth, said Mr Ashish Jain, CMD Kundan Spaces. 

Complementing the understated elegance of the collection, the jewellery for the showcase was curated by Sheetal Creations, adding refined accents that echoed the philosophy of restraint and timeless luxury. 

As Neeta Lulla took the Pune stage, she reaffirmed a core belief that has defined her journey: maturity creates the strongest statements, restraint can be radical, and enduring fashion builds identity—not fleeting moments. By reinterpreting her archival designs through a refined, new-age lens, she continues to speak to the evolving sensibilities of the contemporary Indian woman—where heritage feels current, purposeful, and deeply personal.

Skinwood Luxury Aesthetics has announced the launch of Skinfill Bacio, an advanced Italian injectable lip booster by Promoitalia Medical Aesthetics, now available in India in collaboration with NW Aesthetics. The introduction marks a significant step in India’s evolving aesthetic medicine landscape, shifting the focus from volumization to lip health, hydration, and natural refinement.

Designed for individuals seeking subtle rejuvenation rather than dramatic enhancement, Skinfill Bacio addresses lip quality at a cellular level. The treatment prioritises hydration, texture, and vitality, while preserving natural movement and expression, responding to a growing demand for understated, medically guided aesthetic outcomes.

Skinfill Bacio is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B12, which work together to improve lip hydration, softness and overall lip condition. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, the injectable lip booster enhances without adding volume or bulk, allowing lips to appear naturally refreshed and well-defined.

Commenting on the launch, Dr. Sagar Gujjar, MD, IFAAD, Dermatologist and Founder & Medical Director, Skinwood Luxury Aesthetics Centre, said:

“The launch of Skinfill Bacio reflects a shift we’re seeing among patients, where the focus is no longer on exaggerated results but on maintaining healthy, natural-looking lips. This treatment allows us to improve lip quality while respecting individual anatomy and expression.”

The launch reinforces Skinwood Luxury Aesthetics Centre commitment to precision-led, medically responsible, and refined aesthetic solutions, aligning with the global movement toward preventive and regenerative aesthetics rather than corrective procedures.

Speaking on the collaboration, a representative from Promoitalia Medical Aesthetics (NW Aesthetics India) added:

“India represents a fast-growing and discerning aesthetic market. Partnering with Skinwood allows us to introduce Skinfill Bacio in an environment that prioritises safety, ethics, and clinically sound outcomes, which are central to Promoitalia’s philosophy worldwide.”

Skinfill Bacio is ideal for individuals experiencing lip dryness, early ageing, loss of softness, or dullness, and for those seeking rejuvenation without visible filling. Results develop gradually, leaving lips hydrated, supple, and naturally refreshed.

The Skinfill Bacio Lip Booster treatment is priced from INR 35,000 onwards, with each procedure customised based on individual lip anatomy, aesthetic goals, and product requirement.

With this launch, Skinwood Luxury Aesthetics Centre continues to expand its portfolio of advanced aesthetic treatments, championing an approach where enhancement begins with health, and beauty is defined by balance, restraint, and authenticity.
